Özet (Çeviri)

It is common these days to lament the recession of democracy around the world. In academic circles, such discussions generate empirical data that suggest democracy is in decline. It is striking that these discussions are often accompanied by a feeling of despair or disappointment in the face of what looks like a failed expectation. This study addresses the feeling amongst international lawyers of a failed expectation with respect to democracy. It locates the creation of an expectation that democracy would steadily consolidate over time in the progress narrative of democratic governance discourses that started to take shape at the beginning of the 1990s. This study argues that the discussions on the recession of democracy and the current mood of despair are due to an unwarranted expectation of a post-Cold War democratic heyday which was problematic in the first place. Today's dismay about the recession of democracy should be seen as an offspring of the progress narrative about democratic governance. As the study locates today's despair in academic writings defending an emerging right to democratic governance, it elucidates the narrativisation techniques that international lawyers used to construct democratic governance discourses. In particular, it identifies three of these narrativisation elements, namely the formal, temporal and spatial elements, to understand how these recurring writing strategies have been instrumental in the creation of these discourses. The formal element explains how international lawyers drew the legal contours of these discourses and anchored the subject into a legal framework. The temporal element examines how scholars used the periodisation of history to situate their discourses in time and how the use of the Cold War – post-Cold War dichotomy helped to create a progress narrative. The spatial element explains how the narrative is situated in space and explores how international lawyers used the idea of universality to determine where an emerging right to democratic governance would be applicable. Analysing these three narrativisation elements allows one to understand how international lawyers construed the developments with regard to democracy in progressive terms and envisaged history as a linear path continually moving towards a more advanced order. In elucidating the narrativisation elements of democratic governance discourses, this study ultimately shows that international lawyers have been complicit in the creation of an expectation that democracy would steadily consolidate over time and that today's failed expectation stems from the progress narrative of these discourses.
